About our film set catering in Woodend
On a long shoot day, a good hot lunch keeps morale up. A fish and chip van parks at the unit base and fries to order. Whether it’s crew treats on long shoot days and outside broadcasts, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
Near Woodend, check tracks and ground for the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
